Dimsum Day

Dimsum is a big part of Chinese culture. This type of food is a meal in itself; served in small portions so you can sample each type in a single serving. So where is the best place to get authentic dimsum in the Philippines? Whereelse but Chinatown!

Ongpin is one of the famous streets in Binondo where we are about to enjoy some dimsum goodness. Thanks to “The Office” for the buffet dimsum voucher! 🙂

We’re at the resto just in time for their 1PM dimsum buffet / lunch and dug in right away! 🙂 Eat all we can siomai, chicken feet, dumplings and spareribs with tausi! There are other dishes in the dimsum cart but no I will never eat hakaw! haha

Yes food is good. I don’t think you can go wrong with authentic Chinese food. But I don’t think I’d pay P600 for this (as valued in the voucher) hehe. We consumed about 8 servings of food, so it’s not so bad. I’d have to give it to the Red Iced Tea and desserts that came with the meal though: Mango Sago and Almond Lychee. Those two are refreshing! 😀

Food: 3/5
Dessert: 4/5
Location: 4/5 for the Binondo ambience but takes a lot of walking to get there
Service: 4/5

Binondo is also known for its food walk. I hope I can join one of those or get on a Chinese food trip one day. If ever I’d be back in SaLido, I’d try their Asado, heard that is good.. 🙂
